is it worth placing a suitable .htaccess or web.config file into the wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery folder at all?
mmm, mine are at 775 too, and with the cache subfolder at 0777 yet mine work okay.
I’ve only tried this plugin since the last couple of days, is it compatible with the current theme your using and have you tried another?
This may be to do with restrictions placed for your website so that it does not allow folder viewing or public access.
It’s easily resolved by using some FTP software and just altering the folder permissions so that the content is accessible for public viewing.
To make use of the Thickbox overlay with your slideshow you will need to specify the “Use Link” option when editing your individual slide.
Then simple type in the location of the image that you wish to show in the overlay.
By default the images you have uploaded will be placed in the folder…
wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/Although it can be quite tedious to manually enter this info for every slide it does enable you to also make the overlay point to a picture that has a better resolution for viewing so that for the normal slides you can then upload lower resolution images to give your viewers a quicker loading time before they decide to click on them.
Adding an individual link for each of your slides is also ideal to have a custom slideshow which can show a single image for each of your other slideshows almost like a photo-menu, then the images will load the selected slideshow when clicked.
Hope this helps you.
